Primary Connections home pageThis site provides information related to curriculum resources, the teaching/learning model, research and evaluation, the professional learning program, Indigenous perspectives and professional reading. It provides information about each unit including such things as assessment resources, resource sheets, Indigenous perspectives teaching and learning guide, equipment lists, texts and useful websites related to that unit. Australian Children's Television FoundationThis resource is designed for non-specialist Science teachers based on the Backyard Science TV series and promotes the development of scientific literacy through discovery, investigation, problem-solving and curiosity about the world. The teaching activities and resources are designed to link with the Primary Connections 5Es teaching and learning model. Years 4 -7. Science Education Assessment ResourcesThe Science Education Assessment Resources (SEAR) provide a wide range of assessment resources (or 'tasks') suitable for use across the compulsory years of schooling. The tasks have been indexed to six levels as described in the scientific literacy progress map. SEAR also contains general information about science assessment and links to key teacher resources. Nova: Science in the NewsNOVA looks at the science behind the headlines and aims to provide reliable and up-to-date information for senior secondary school teachers to use in class (although they hope that anyone with an interest in topical issues will also find Nova useful). Australian Science Teachers AssociationA federation of eight state and territory Science Teacher Associations (STAs). The ABC's Science HomepageHere you'll find programs from ABC radio and TV as well as original online material including a daily science news service, in depth features, quizzes, Dr Karl's Great Moments in Science, videos, audio, podcasts, forums, news feeds and more. National GeographicThe National Geographic Society has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888. It is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography, archaeology and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation. Science Learning NetworkThe Science Learning Network (SLN) is an online community of educators, students, schools, science museums and other institutions demonstrating a new model for inquiry science education. Windows to the UnverseThe Windows to the Universe website is an interlinked ecosystem for learning about the Earth and Space sciences. The goal is to provide an internet site that includes a rich array of documents, including images, movies, animations, and data sets, that explore the Earth and Space sciences and the historical and cultural ties between science, exploration, and the human experience. Science by Doing Science by Doing is a national initiative that aims to actively engage junior secondary school students in learning science through an inquiry-based approach.
